  • Photographers are magicians

    Photographers are magicians

    Photographers are magicians. They can freeze time and make the world black and white. Black and white, 0 and 1—this is the starting point of all magic.

  • Time itself is an artist

    Time itself is an artist

    Vivian Maier captured a lot of portraits of people with a sense of the times, which made me realize that street photography doesn’t require a lot of compositional skills. Just take a picture of what you see and keep taking pictures of it. That approach will definitely be right. Because over time, even the most…

  • Capture the real face

    Capture the real face

    In many cases, when the subject is aware that you’re taking pictures of him, he’ll often appear less relaxed. Only photographers who can blend in can capture the real face. Clearly, I’ve got this down pat. Haha.

    Street photography: Capturing timeless moments

    Strolling at my own pace, my mind is free to dance with the wind as my worries lightly encircle my brow, and the dust of my old photo albums flickers in a leisurely manner. Back then, the sun was so long and warm, and I used the streets and alleys as a canvas, my feet…

  • 500 years of looking back

    500 years of looking back

    I’ve only met these lovely people once, but when I do it’s fate and I’ll be sure to capture them on camera! The Buddha said that it took 500 years of looking back in a previous life to exchange for a brush of shoulders in this life. Isn’t that a lovely thought?
